Human Surfactant Protein A Alleviates SARS-CoV-2 Infectivity in Human Lung Epithelial Cells
Ikechukwu B. Jacob, Amanda Gemmiti, Weichuan Xiong…·Guirong Wang
This study shows human SP-A binds SARS-CoV-2 S protein and hACE2, inhibiting viral infectivity and reducing viral load in lung cells, and suggests SP-A levels in saliva correlate with COVID-19 severity.
